Melampsora ferrinii causing rust disease on Corydalis incisa in Korea.

A recent study published in the New Disease Reports journal has identified Melampsora ferrinii as the cause of rust disease on Corydalis incisa, commonly known as incised fumewort, in Korea. This is the first recorded instance of M. ferrinii affecting C. incisa in Korea. The study found that the spread of C. incisa, driven by global climate change, could potentially lead to the occurrence of M. ferrinii on Salix species, which could result in ecological and economic damage. This research highlights the importance of monitoring and managing the spread of invasive species in the face of climate change. [Extracted from the article]
